I'd like to create a "T-Mo MyFavs-esque" panel on the home screen. I've already used CHome to create an app launcher but if I try to set the template to contact dialer it lets me get as far as selecting the number and then crashes with an error.
Any tips?
I had the same problem it crashes if the contact has a nickname, I just removed the nickname so I can use the template.
that's strange...I've not set any nicknames...just the first name, number(s), email, ring tone, and pic
What did you do (step by step) to create it?
EDIT: Well that's odd. I can do it for one contact but not another. I will test others and look over the contacts record to see what the issue is.
EDIT2: Yes! There was a nickname in there! I just forgot I guess. It works now! Too bad there isn't a way to change the order of the pages (make page 5 page 1, etc.).
THANK YOU for the tip Caesar GDI. All the mods offered earlier was fail. Epic, Fail. You, sir, however, WIN.
Hello All,
I am using WM6.1. Has anyone figured out how to typle in a recipienta name into the TO: field? I am only allowed to type in numbers so I am forced to select via the contacts list. I tried searching for a solution as I thought I had a similar problem with MMS/SMS on WM6.
Thanks,
Jimmy
I do not think there is a solution to this you will just have to use the softkeys to go to menu and then add recipient... kinda sucks but I mean you got to do what you have to.
OK, I know i will get flamed, but i have searched here, ppcgeeks, and howard forums, but apparently am not using the correct phrase or tag words. Can I, and if so, how can i remove the calender and missed calls from the home screen? i have ready through a ton of threads, i just cant find an answer. Flame away, but please also answer! BTW, i'm not a noob to these devices, i have had a 6700 and 6800, custom roms, etc, and have "tweaked" my TP2 rather significantly. i am pretty close to where i want it, just want to get rid of these last 2 things, then it is a hard reset, and reinstall everything i like. please help!
I know you can get rid of the "calendar" and "missed calls" icons quite easily. But you want to completely remove the links? So for the end result, you want just the clock on your home tab? ie, you don't want to see your next appointments and missed calls at all?
To answer your question, you will have to be more specific with your description. For instance, what items do you have selected for your today screen? Are you using Manila/TouchFLO 3D, HTC Home, or a 3rd party Today plugin? One possible fix could be disabling the calendar from the Today Items menu, or if you are using Manila/TouchFLO 3D, you can customize the tabs and remove the calendar from the list. Maybe you can take a screenshot of your screen so it is easier for us to see what you are talking about.
yep, just want them off the home screen, btw ohyeahar, i am using your skin and love it, thank you very much for all of the work.
i am using touchflo3d, i've taken all of the check marks off of the items list in the today settings screen, aside from the touchflo 3d check
Ok, I see what you are saying... On the "Home" tab of TouchFLO 3D, you would just like to see the clock and nothing else.
I did a search and found this thread:

In the thread they referenced Diamond TF3D Config, by Sushilange
I searched for that and found this thread with a download link:

I downloaded the cab, installed it but it would not work on my phone
Apparently, this is for a previous version of Manila
I did some more searching and it seems that a lot of people want the same thing as you but I was unable to find a way to do it.
I am going to poke around in my registry and see if I can find a way to modify the home tab manually.
I found another thread that talks about removing the Calendar and Missed Calls:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=456474
There are some cabs on page 3 that you can try or you can read further in the thread where it talks about modifying the xml files to manually make the changes.
thank you, i will weed through and see what i can come up with.
well, the no dotted lines cab worked fine. i used the 590ad244_manila.zip file and replaced the file in windows and the calender is gone, not the missed calls. i attached the files here, thank you to [email protected] for these, i will continue to read through and see what i get.
ok, well, after some searching and fooling around, I tried editing the manila file again, but still have the missed calls text up. also, the above file only removes the calender text, and not the actual button, so if you press in the spot where the calender text was, it goes to the calender. not a huge issue, just thought i would mention it. but still not able to get rid of the 0 missed calls. my search continues, getting closer though.
This may be a dumb question but after messing with my emails I can't get them to organize by date anymore. You know what I mean? The newest emails starting from top to bottom? Can anyone help me out with this?
Thanks and happy Easter!
-FN
Mail Tab, Inbox Softkey, Menu Softkey, Tools, Sort By, Received. Each time you Sort by any of the choices, it toggles between which direction it sorts, i.e. newest-to-oldest, oldest-to-newest, etc.
That did it! Thanks! I was starting to get super frustrated! haha
Greetings,
I'm sorry in advance for such an idiotic question, i've been mashing buttons for days and must have having a very special moment.
How can i change the default font or text size (its 12, and i'd like it to be 10) when composing an email in the Mail app (exchange)
I have searched but i can only seem to find results relating to the display on the device itself.
Any threads or comments to put in the right direction would be most appreciated.
Thanks
